21:43 Bnonn coz that one is kinda..ugly 21:43 Bnonn oh dear 21:43 rach the default one is much worse 21:43 Bnonn right 21:43 rach um no, that's liblimes one - so a particular company that supports and develops koha 21:43 Bnonn I'm good at that 21:43 rach and to read things that others have written and point out the glaring omissions etc 21:43 Bnonn is er...http://koha.liblime.com/...is that your default interface? 21:43 rach but we are still keen on people to write stuff for us certainly 21:42 rach drop it to kaitiaki, but actually it will come to me :-) 21:42 Bnonn heh 21:42 rach doh, honestly I should change that :-) 21:42 Bnonn Contact kaitiaki@koha.org and Pat will help you. 21:42 Bnonn We are always keen for people to write articles about Koha for publication in anything from a school newsletter to national papers and magazines. 21:42 Bnonn > Writer 21:42 Bnonn http://www.katipo.co.nz/about-us/jobs.html 21:42 chris hmm 21:42 rach hmm now where is pat mentioned?

21:33 Bnonn hard finding time though (not to mention lazy) 21:32 Bnonn I'd like to learn PHP or Perl since it will be handy as my website expands 21:31 Bnonn well, I know XHTML and CSS /moderately/ well...that's it 21:31 rach fair enough 21:31 Bnonn I can deal with HTML though...I'd link you to my website but er...well, we're on dialup at the moment because Telecom sucks 21:31 rach ditto :-) 21:31 Bnonn I rather suck (: 21:31 Bnonn I think programming is very cool, but unfortunately haven't the mind for it 21:30 Bnonn well, my mum works at the Hamilton public library, so I'm sort of vaguely interested in that side of things, but I'm more a writey/designy person 21:30 rach what are your interests? techy or library or library techy? 21:29 Bnonn but I figured I'd come here and nose around 21:29 Bnonn I'm sort of interested in maybe contributing a bit to Koha, although I'm not certain how helpful I'll be 21:29 Bnonn nice to meet you and all that 21:29 rach yep 21:27 Bnonn you must be Rachel 21:27 Bnonn it is (: 21:27 rach it's very quiet today 21:27 rach hi 21:18 Bnonn I'm just gonna sit in the corner here, kay?
